The game will feature the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi in a fantastical retelling of Edo-era Japan. Musashi is equipped with a potent Oni gauntlet, granting him supernatural abilities to combat the Genma invasion threatening Kyoto. New visuals from Capcom reveal Mount Oe, near Kyoto, now serving as the lair of a colossal Genma appearing as the mythical Shuten Doji. Musashi’s journey will involve traversing a heavily fortified stronghold, relying on his speed, strength, and supernatural powers. The trailer also offers a first look at his true Oni warrior transformation, which amplifies his combat prowess. Core Onimusha gameplay mechanics are retained, including the Issen, a precise counterattack requiring perfect timing, and the absorption of enemy souls. The playable demo allows exploration of the renowned Kiyomizudera Temple and a confrontation with Sasaki Ganryu, a historical rival of Musashi. Players who successfully complete the demo will receive the Kubi Akari amulet in the final game. Capcom advises that the demo’s performance on PC may not reflect the final product’s capabilities and that a dedicated benchmarking tool will be made available soon for PC users.
